GTO BH-1 Battery Heater

Installation Manual

The GTO Battery heater is designed to maintain the batteries in the GTO control box at a higher

temperature when the system is installed in a cold climate. The heater is easy to install and wire, and

controlled by a built in thermostat that activates the heater at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). One or

two heaters can be used depending on the number of batteries installed in the control box.

The heaters are designed to be used with the Mighty Mule 500, Mighty Mule 502, PRO-SW3000,

PRO-SW4000, PRO-SL-1000 and PRO-SL2000 gate operators.

Power for the heaters is supplied by the incoming 18VAC GTO RB570F transformer up to 500 feet

from an AC power source. Single battery systems more than 500 feet and dual battery systems more

than 300 feet from the AC power source can be powered by a separate transformer. The heaters will

not work on solar powered applications.

possible.

2. Connect the yellow wire pair in parallel with the 18VAC connection from the GTO transformer in the rst two

terminal positions.
